"They had their first live performance at the Wacken Festival 2014. The five-piece band around the power woman Jennifer haben plays symphonic metal. In addition to hard rock music, classical elements are also used. The band has been working on new songs in a new constellation since 2017. With their brand new album ""Beyond the Black"" underpins their status as a permanent fixture in the scene."

"ORIGINS - The Online Acoustic Experience" is the first Beyond The Black acoustic concert ever, performed as an online show! It features exclusive new arrangements, an extended band line-up & stunning visual production, not in a classic stage setting, but in a film-like environment. So acoustic means in that case: bringing the full BTB concert energy to your home screens in a way that you’ve never seen before!

Recorded at Wacken Open Air 2015

BEYOND THE BLACK playing at Resurrection Fest Estrella Galicia 2022 (02/07/22) in Viveiro, Spain.

Genoveva’s 16th‐century Munich family is murdered and her home burned. Violated by masked killers, she vows vengeance. She turns to friend Ernst, unaware he aids her family’s traitors, and to Walpurga, whose true motives shock her. Can she still enact her revenge?

Beyond the Black once again played Wacken Open Air and performed many of their most haunting melodies!

Within just a few years, Beyond the Black have catapulted themselves from newcomers to the forefront of modern symphonic metal. Driven by Jennifer Haben's powerful voice, they combine orchestral elegance with hard riffing and anthemic choruses that immediately catch the ear. Their songs speak of inner strength, longing, and the power to continually reinvent themselves. Live, they radiate an energy that inspires both dancing and dreaming—a perfect blend of metal thunderstorm and magical storytelling. Beyond the Black prove that big emotions and grand gestures still have a place in metal today.

Mud, power outages, heavy rain – and yet Wacken draws crowds every year. For over three decades, Wacken Open Air has stood for friendship, perseverance, and a tight-knit community. With metal legends such as Kreator, Doro Pesch, and Motörhead, Wacken turns into an exceptional event – and a home away from home for fans from all over the world.
